Siderise Insulation - Fire Protection, Thermal Insulation and Acoustic Solutions

Siderise has been providing specialist insulation products for fire, thermal and acoustic applications since 1972 via its trading partners but now offers these solutions direct to the construction market. Its innovative systems - including the leading Lamatherm and Lamaphon ranges - are often imitated but never surpassed. Siderise has developed an unrivalled technical expertise and a strong emphasis on manufacturing excellence supported by the ISO 9001:2000 accreditation. The company offers technical advice to architects and recommendations for contractors on the most cost-effective solutions without compromising on performance.

Cavity barrier and fire stopping products

Siderise offers a comprehensive range of cavity barrier and fire stopping products - now known as fire separating elements – to meet national building regulation requirements. Specific designs cater for floor and wall compartmentation, suspended ceiling and raised floor void barriers, and timber floor fire protection.

Curtain walling fire protection

In addition, Siderise’s unique Lamatherm CW range for curtain walling now offers the added reassurance of third-party accredited Certifire certification – the only curtain walling solution to offer this. Combined with this accreditation, its engineering design, unrivalled acoustic performance and simple installation make it the most trusted system for most of the UK’s largest curtain walling companies.

Thermal insulation products

The Lamatherm range of thermal insulation products includes composite panel cores, spandrel panel insulation and soffit liners. For these fire and thermal products, Siderise’s innovative, and patented Lamella system is used to give exceptional structural performance, compressibility for ease of installation and long service life. Remaining Siderise products are manufactured from other high quality materials.

Acoustics and noise reduction products

Siderise is the leading UK manufacturer of acoustic materials for construction with its effective and proven Lamaphon sound insulation and noise reduction solutions catering for all common sound path problems. In addition, an extensive range of sound absorption, isolation, anti-vibration and damping materials is available.

Customised passive fire protection and acoustic systems

With a team of passive fire experts, four acousticians and other specialists, Siderise is a leading innovator in specialist insulation solutions, with a greater proportion of turnover spent on research, development and testing than any other passive fire protection and acoustic solutions provider.

Many original products developed by Siderise over the years have resulted directly from a willingness to listen to customers' needs and then to engineer effective solutions to match these requirements exactly. When involved at the design stage, Siderise can add value to standard details with consideration of wider performance demands including fire, acoustics, thermal requirements and serviceability movement.

Manufacturing and testing facilities

The company’s advanced manufacturing facilities, incorporating a number of unique and patented process technologies, operate a quality assurance scheme fully accredited to ISO 9001:2000, as well as environmental impact auditing. Siderise also has a group commitment to a ‘lean' manufacturing ethic with continual training and development programmes for all staff. New regulatory requirements and industry performance standards are monitored and a formalised new product development process implemented. Products are also subjected to a programme of regular independent performance testing.

As one of the only truly independent design and manufacturing companies in the UK, you can be sure that your building’s passive fire, noise reduction and thermal insulation needs are in safe hands with Siderise.
